I'm working on a simple python web app that generates graphs, because managers love graphs. I've got it about 90% done, but I'm having trouble getting labels onto my stacked graph. In the matplotlib documentation there is a nice example showing how to create the legend. Note how the variables p1 and p2 are used to generate the legend in this example:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/bar_stacked.html <code> p1 = plt.bar(ind, menMeans, width, color='r', yerr=womenStd) p2 = plt.bar(ind, womenMeans, width, color='y', bottom=menMeans, yerr=menStd) plt.ylabel('Scores') plt.title('Scores by group and gender') plt.xticks(ind+width/2., ('G1', 'G2', 'G3', 'G4', 'G5') ) plt.yticks(np.arange(0,81,10)) plt.legend( (p1[0], p2[0]), ('Men', 'Women') ) </code> Unfortunately my graph is generated dynamically. How can I create my legend when my 'bar' objects have no names to refer to? for admin in bd: bar(ind, bd[admin], width, color=colordict[admin]) xticks(ind+width/2., datenames) legend() grid('on') outfile = 'testfile.png' savefig('/var/www/'+outfile) return outfile _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
